Riad Zamane Fès - Boutique & Spa

The riyals were exceptionally beautiful, typical of traditional Moroccan courtyard houses. The ambiance was impeccable; from the courtyard to the rooms to the terrace, everything was exactly to my aesthetic liking—exquisite and impeccably clean. The location was excellent, just a five-minute walk from the Blue Gate, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the Medina's old city. However, it was tucked away in a small alley, making it a bit difficult to find. Other riyals in the old city likely have the same issue, given that Fez's old city has over 9,000 alleyways—it's quite complex. Breakfast was a generous and refined meal per person, featuring three types of bread or local flatbreads, orange juice, fruit, yogurt, fried eggs, and coffee or tea. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Since we were driving, on our first day, the GPS led us to a restricted area, showing only 300 meters away. My husband parked there while I walked to find it, but at a fork in the road, the destination disappeared, replaced by two deep alleyways. A local asked me for 20 dirhams, but when I arrived, I discovered it wasn't the guesthouse I had booked, but another guesthouse also called Zamane. After much pleading, the staff led me to the Zamane I was looking for, located in a side alley. I noticed the sign said "Riad Zamane Maison d’hotes," not "Riad Zamane boutique & spa" on Ctrip. I wonder if that's why the directions weren't correct. The English-speaking manager was sick and didn't come to work that day, and didn't make proper arrangements. A special thank you to Ms. Nadia, who was in charge of housekeeping; she put down her work and walked with me to our parking spot, directing us to another road to park near the guesthouse. I also want to thank a handsome young man whose name starts with H (I forgot his full name) who helped us buy bottled water. He was always smiling and greeted us warmly; he was very friendly. I'd suggest that the guesthouse keep a few bottles of water in the rooms, at least one large bottle, as Fes is very dry and we desperately need them.

The room had a very Moroccan feel, and I took many beautiful photos there. The food was also very good. I was a bit surprised to have a breakfast that was entirely carbohydrates for the first time. The staff were very welcoming. Dinner was also quite good.

The hotel boasts a great location, a plentiful breakfast, spacious and clean rooms, a quiet and beautiful courtyard, and excellent value for money spa services. We stayed for two consecutive nights and found it very comfortable. Highly recommended!

A very nice hotel located at the gates of the medina, therefore easily accessible.

Everything is perfect. Really kind staffs and good food are waiting for you. The best Riad I have stayed. The rooms are clean, the food is great, and the staff are very kind. I have stayed in several riads, but this was the best. It's a little scary because it's in the back alley, but it's easy to access the main tourist spots.

Гостеприимство! Чувствуешь себя дорогим гостем. Обильный разнообразный завтрак в марокканском стиле, адаптированный под европейский вкус. Хорошая звукоизоляция на окнах. Красивый интерьер в национальном стиле. Нужно понимать, что это не сетевой отель, где все по стандартам, а старинный восстановленный дом. Если хочется местного колорита, то вам сюда. Все удобства есть, ребята очень приветливы, готовы помочь. Что важно - можно доехать на авто практически до отеля ( в Медине нельзя передвигаться на автомобиле), парковка в 40 метрах от отеля. Парковка - это участок улицы (важно, если вы на авто). На крыше есть терраса, где можно посидеть на диванах/ позагорать на шезлонгах. Нам понравилось!
